Florian Witteler created KAFKA-4238:
---------------------------------------

             Summary: consumer-subscription not working, when accessing a newly 
created topic immediately after its creation with the AdminUtils
                 Key: KAFKA-4238
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-4238
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 0.10.0.1, 0.10.0.0
            Reporter: Florian Witteler


I created a test-project to reproduce the bug.
https://github.com/FloWi/kafka-topic-creation-bug

We use a docker container that creates a fresh topic before a testsuite gets 
executed (see {{trait FreshKafkaTopics}}). That trait uses the AdminUtils to 
create the topic. 

If we access the newly created topic directly after its creation, the 
subscriber is broken. It sometimes works though (<5%), so it seems to be a 
race-condition.

If I put a {{Thread.sleep(1000)}} after the topic-creation, everything's fine 
though.

So, the problem is twofold:
- {{AdminUtils.createTopic}} should block until the topic-creation is completed
- {{new KafkaConsumer[String, 
String](props).subscribe(util.Arrays.asList(topic))}} should throw an 
exception, when the topic is "not ready"
